About the conference

There are a number of impacts made by large retail developments which must be carefully balanced. Economic regeneration must be balanced with local distinctiveness and local trade. Impacts are magnified in historic towns and cities which may have particularly sensitive environments.

This event will explore how the Local Authority / Developer partnership, with a significant investment in the public realm, has underpinned regeneration in Cardiff. The issues will be examined together with analysis of the St David’s 2 case study.

This conference will carry CPD certification
